Your story isn't explicit enough.

He is not financially stable?

His he working presently?

Has he for once gift you something without you asking?

If yes, did you appreciate the little gift he gave? Guys are.

Are you the type that brag in his presence that you have enough money to take care of yourself before the scam issue?

What exactly is the guy doing for you to still love despite his stinginess (base on your story)
